Fancying myself a street photographer.

Day 1, and no street passes. Will try again tomorrow.

Street Pass Day 1. Lets go.

One of the neatest and most unique things Nintendo came up with was Street Pass on the 3DS. Your Mii would transfer to other 3DS consoles you passed and new Miis would come to yours as well. Was so much fun to commute with my 3DS and see who I'd meet along the way.

Been trying to think of ways to make my new commute less painful. First idea is to dust off an old Olympus point and shoot for some on-the-go street photography. Second idea is to grab this old 2DS and see how long it takes me to get a street pass. Place your bets on that one.

We're talking toyconNJ tonight!

My ToyconNJ pickups

One of my favorite shots, taken in 2005 when I barely knew how to use a camera! 📸 It was a snarky take on the Nintendo DS vs. Sony PSP portable wars. I loved both systems, but R.O.B. definitely had the better "screens" here. Still have the PSP and R.O.B.s; RIP to the Nintendo handhelds and camera 🎮

Sick as a dog, so a bottle of NyQuil and some classic Star Trek for this evening.

What do we have here? apps.apple.com/us/app/borde...

New game gets. Possibly hidden gems? Both absolute favorites of mine that I’m happy to own again. Alien Infestation is a tension filled Metroid-vania while Stealth Inc is a charming puzzle platformer with a wicked sense of humor.

Fraggle Rocky. Sorry, I’ll see myself out.

Bought a few, select issues of Nintendo Power to compliment my humble game collection. Not sure exactly what I will do with them, but they are are neat to see again after so long.

and here we go in 5...4...3...2...1

I am feeling like the floor of a taxi cab at the moment, but I’ve taken some meds and hopefully I’m in fine spirits for tonight’s stream.

Super Mario Galaxy was good but Star Fox is more my jam.

Also, don't be these people. An entire family snapping photos with flash and talking on their phones during the movie. They left their seats like this. Absolutely zero regard for anyone else at all. I was astonished. Do better.

Super Mario Galaxy Movie was a good time. I liked it more than the first film. Just a fun, switch off your brain type of movie. Well done. Next up from Nintendo is the Zelda movie, right? Wonder how that one is going to turn out.

Have amaze day!

What color do I paint you, question.

Amaze Amaze Amaze! Really hoping a toy company picks up the license for Project Hail Mary as I'd love to get Grace and Rocky figures. Until then, Buzz Lightyear saves stars

@scoopmoose.bsky.social I had hoped this would make it by today, but sadly won't be there until tomorrow. Happy April Fools, regardless! And I don't even need the code for this one. Enjoy.

I don’t know. Very high, probably, maybe. www.sideshow.com/whats-new/ly...

A little One Piece live action love. Finished season 2 and enjoyed the heck out of it. It’s such a fun show that we enjoy watching as a family though my youngest has issues with the swearing 😅. Luffy by SHFiguarts. Picked him up for this shot. Had a lot of fun creating the scenery.

I’m a simpleton and don’t normally notice/gush about cinematography but there were so many incredible moments in Project Hail Mary that just left me stunned stupid. I need to go see this one again in theaters to soak in the splendor again. Had to draw Rocky for my daughter’s daily doodle.

GBA SP was the peak of handheld gaming imo perfect size that fit in your pocket, insane library of games because of the backwards compatibility, sleek design

Question: how are we handling telling our parents the images and videos they are sending us are AI? I've just been responding with "haha" or "cute" but the shares are getting weirder and I'm becoming concerned.

Stop pressuring me.

Man, Alien Infestation is giving me a run for my money. I've got five marines KIA and two more MIA. I'm on a mission that I don't think I can complete so may need to restart and tread more carefully. Great game though. Intense Alien, Metroid-vania action/tension gameplay.

Going live!

Join us tonight, as we reconnect with our modems, and discuss the wild west of the early Internet. www.youtube.com/live/7IEP21l... 7:30pm ET at h t t p : / / w w w . Y o u t u b e . c o m

Who wants to join me? I recall winning a gaming mouse at the event. Don't recall what games I played.

Picked up another game for my non-collection. This was a big one for me, my introduction into the Valkyria Chronicles series. I sunk an insane amount of hours into this game and it's DLC. Incredible turn-based action strategy with a great story and engaging characters.

Here's a 2nd attempt at a Clickers photo. I added a tilt to create some 'unease' and changed the lighting to improve the drama/storytelling. I prefer landscape orientation for cinematic shots, but when posting landscape to instagram the details tend to get lost. What do you think? Does this work?

The result of yesterday's Clicker photoshoot. I'm not super happy with the outcome. Good photos, even toy photos, should tell a story and I don't feel like there's anything interesting being said in this particular image. Going to try again.

Clickers out doing their clicking. Working on a photo of these two Clickers from Lim Toys. Pre-ordered them almost three years ago and they finally showed up. They look fantastic but articulation is a little lacking. Still, super glad to finally have them in my hands.

We talked about it on our Toy Fair episode (www.youtube.com/live/hBjGUGD...) but one of my most wished for toy lines is cartoon Beetlejuice ultimates. We got Beetlejuice himself from Boss Fight, but that was all they did. We need Lydia and friends!maybe one day.

On Thursday, @timpopkid.ibuywaytoomanyrecords.com and I will be reminiscing about the wild west of the early Internet. Link to follow, and please sign our guestbook. Only on @perfectlyexcellent.bsky.social

Hello there.

Hello there.

We played Overcooked 2 tonight as a family. None of us are currently speaking to each other now.😡 That game causes pure chaos. I said we were going to turn it off if anyone yelled and I was the first one screaming.

The monthly Wayne Toy Show isnt a large show these days, but if you've got $5 an an hour to kill it certainly does the trick.

Figure only, $100.

Dude was asking $180 for this Bioshock 2 figure. Too rich for my blood.

Also from the Wayne Toy Show / the never ending hall of Funko pops. I have heard stories of collectors wandering down this hall only to never be seen or heard from again. Rumor is they have become Funkos themselves and now line the halls.

one of the vendors at the toy show had a box of Famicom cartridges. Nothing that jumped out at me, but I was tempted by Ice Climbers #retrogames

A couple of game stuffs from the Wayne toy show today.

Does this count as a collection? Two games I would like to add are Metroid Fusion and The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap. Oh, and Mega Man Battle Network (1 or 2). I think I'll be good after that (he says to himself).

Next week on Perfectly Excellent we are reminiscing on our early experiences on the internet. I don't recall much from those days but I do still recall my first email address - [email protected] 📧 That was me for a while before eventually joining AOL. What are your earliest internet memories?

Seriously, just listing to the motion tracker pinging in Alien Infestation stresses me out to no end. This is such a tense ride.
